No prob.

Well. The fact is, some broken distributions (and some strange people)
thinks that /usr/src/linux should point to the current kernel's includes
which is WRONG. It should be point to the kernel headers was used TO COMPILE
LIBC on your system ... There were enough threads about this topic even on
the "big" Linux kernel mailing list.

Well. I have even no such file, and mplayer compiles :)
[and yes, I'm using kernel 2.6.0-test2 now]
It looks like your /usr/include/linux is not a link to the source of
linux kernel 2.6.0-testX, or at least a copy from it, instead of the
version came with glibc (glibc-dev package for being more correct) which
it should be.
